[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 188368, member: 2146"]And there hangs a tale... The problem lies in the fact that many people are educated in certain fields, but are clueless in others. There are people out there who could tell you exactly how many beans are in each Beanie Baby, but wouldn't know the difference between a 1921 Walking Liberty Half Dollar and that "tribute proof" you referenced. The scam artists depend on these people for their income. Whether people invest in coins, Beanie Babies, comic books or whatever, there are 3 things they need before doing so: Education, education and education. Sometimes, however, I've found that collectors get "giddy" about a particular thing and they rush in (and usually buy it) before thinking it through.[/QUOTE]
